The home secretary claims criminality is 'very closely linked' to people coming to the UK on small boats, with 'many' getting involved in drugs, violence and prostitution.
The behaviour of people arriving in the UK on small boats is"at odds with British values", the home secretary has claimed.
Speaking exclusively to Sky News, Suella Braverman said people making the dangerous Channel crossing - who include asylum seekers - were"behaving unacceptably" by"breaking our rules" and"abusing the generosity of the British people". But she also claimed criminality was"very closely linked" to their arrival, telling our political correspondent Ali Fortescue:"We see that there are many people coming here illegally who are then getting involved in drugs, who are getting involved in violent crime, who are getting involved in prostitution.The Home Office was unable to point Sky News to crime statistics to back up these claims.
But a source from the department said chief constables and senior police officers had told the home secretary about"increased criminality relating to people who entered the UK on small boats", and she was"clear that those who enter the UK on small boats are breaking the law by definition of their route of entry".
